You could wrap a layer or two of electrical tape around the filter than
just slip it into the tiny "hood" of the CV 15 LTM. You'll have to put
the filter in upside down so the glass won't hit the front element of
the lens. On an M8 it won't vignette at all. It's a stop-gap measure
but it works quite well.
